Air India has received DGCA approval to establish its first airline-owned flying training academy at Belora Airport in Amravati, Maharashtra. The 10-acre facility, nearly complete, will operate 34 trainer aircraft, including 31 single-engine and three twin-engine planes, equipped with modern avionics.
